The concept of immunomodulation has been gaining much significance worldwide as people started realizing the indispensible role of the immune system in maintaining a disease-free state. Natural products have been considered a plentiful source in the search for new chemical entities that modulate the immune system with reduced adverse effects. Pharmacological evaluation of the crude ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia diffusa &lt;/em&gt;roots has shown to possess anti proliferative and immunomodulatory properties but not reported from &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt;. Due to that, immunomodulatory activity was carried out for the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt; (Family: Nyctaginaceae). In this present study, aqueous extract of whole plant of &lt;em&gt;Boerhavia erecta&lt;/em&gt; exhibited phagocytosis stimulation of human neutrophils against &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; in a dose dependent manner.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">241</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vasuki K&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Murugananthan G&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Banupriya C&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Ramya R&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Mohana Priya C&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Shenjudar D&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
